Youri Mulder (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjuːri ˈmɵldər]; born 23 March 1969 in Brussels, Belgium) is a retired Dutch footballer who played as a striker and also a manager.
Son of former Ajax Amsterdam and R.S.C. Anderlecht player Jan Mulder, Mulder played youth football for SDO Bussum and Ajax. After two years in amateur football, he made his professional debuts at 21, with FC Twente. In his second season, he scored a career-best 18 goals, as the club finished sixth in the Eredivisie.
In 1993, Mulder moved to the German Bundesliga with FC Schalke 04, where he would play for nearly one decade. He made his league debut on 7 August, in a 0–3 loss at SG Wattenscheid 09. His first three years at the Gelsenkirchen side were successful individually – 22 goals combined – and the 1996–97 season brought with it the UEFA Cup conquest, with the player netting three times in the campaign, including once in the semifinals against Valencia CF.
Additionally, Mulder also won two consecutive German Cups, in 2001 and 2002. Only managing to appear 33 times (with just one goal) in his last three seasons combined, he retired at the end of 2001–02, aged 33.
